These solstice energies have rocked my world. “Transformational” is a word I don’t use easily, yet it comes to mind.

As we contemplate what this shift will ultimately look like; we live each moment portraying it.

This is what I’ve come to appreciate since the solstice. Here is how that occurred, in 3 separate instances.

-After three years of subtle and not so subtle harassment at the workplace, I said something. I said it out loud. I said it to the right person. It felt like instant full consciousness. I just knew what I would allow, from that day forward, to show up in my days. The response was immediate and affirming. He’s gone.

-On two separate occasions, I healed myself. Once, I slammed my hand in the car door. Another time, it was what I’d call a psychic attack. In both instances, I got a hold of the pain and saw it gone. I didn’t stop until it was.

-A lucrative writing gig showed up in my inbox. Although I could do it, it was not in alignment with where I want to put my energy. It had to do with standardized testing. I refused it and passed it to several friends. They are happy for the work. When I did that, it felt the way you do when you put that last puzzle piece in place; satisfying.

These things may not sound like much, yet they are emotionally powerful and declarative. They define the world I choose now.

This world embodies sovereignty, health, empowerment, abundance and love. It is the only place I see myself.

There are lots of stories lately of mischief and attacks and technology still here that mean us harm. These stories are not false. It is not productive to pretend they aren’t really happening. Yet, as we hear them, realize that we never expected this to be easy. I suspect, if it had been easy, well, we wouldn’t be the ones here to take care of it. We are the bad asses. We came for this. It’s what we do, and we are not here alone with only our agenda. There are others. They show up occasionally. They have plans of their own.

Yet, there is no one more powerful in this reality than you. This is your dream, your choice, your manifestation. It’s all you. It’s all us. I’m not sure how to say this any differently, so I’ll repeat – no one here has any more power than you. No one.

YOU ARE THE BAD ASS.

Each of the times I was injured recently, my first reaction was to immediately succumb to it, to yell, to cry, to feel fearful. Then, something else showed up as a possibility. I got on top of the pain, almost as if I was looking at myself from another place. I washed it away with love. I sent light in waves through the suffering part and kept it up until the pain was no longer predominant.

I did that.

I don’t consider myself a healer or medical intuitive. I cannot see inside my body as to what is going on. But I know what love is and I know what my body is supposed to feel like. I refused to accept anything else.

Something is different energetically now. This was easier than it’s ever been. I am different inside of it. I said NO to what showed up and it switched quickly. It took effort, conviction, belief, intent and love.

It worked.

My world has changed because I changed it.

There’s a teacher I’ve just been introduced to who you may want to check out. Her name is Aurora and you can click here for one of her courses. I am struck by the simple and beautiful way she describes what is happening here and who she sees us as.

The video shared below is one I love and have used before. If you only watch it for the run through the forest, it’s worth it. “Let there be light”. It is all that there is, all that you are, and what you bring to the table. There is nothing capable of stopping you. You are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

It is the end of an era – much was learned, much was lost. The choice for change, for an end, for justice and for peace has already been made. This choice was made by everyone; this “everyone” includes every person inside the 7 billion of humanity. Movement is accomplished bit by bit – sudden movements are not possible. Change is inevitable and guaranteed. It feels slow. You are moving more than a mountain. You are altering an entire race.

This thing that is happening, this altering of life on earth, is occurring within the only “time frame” that it can. Depending on your location and perspective, you’ll consider this process to be too fast, too slow or appropriate. Yet it is happening, and evidence of the change is everywhere.

To move something this large takes time and planning. Imagine moving a 7 billion pound animal. First you’d have to understand where it was going. Then you’d make sure it would fit and create the appropriate home for it. After that there may be some effort put into explaining to the animal where it was headed and why. Each effort would bring it a little closer to being ready to go.

Once completed, the move itself, if it were to happen at the animals own pace and instigation, would have to happen relatively gradually so as not to disturb the life cycle too much. The goal would be seamless rather than shocking, to maintain the health and well being of the animal.

Some parts of the creature would get there sooner than other parts. Some sections may require special assistance; an animal of this size quite possibly has never moved from where it began. It has no innate facility to do so now. Learning will be necessary so that cooperation and willingness can support the effort.

All of this, although happening at the same time, may appear unrelated and disconnected. The sheer size of this animal means that parts of it are separated from other parts by great distances. These parts may even reside in different time zones. For something this large, movement is barely perceptible. “Time”, awareness and comparison are the tools used to measure change. Speed is relative and in this effort, a day, week or even a year may yield only slight differences.

What is important is the health and autonomy of the animal. The desired effect, at the culmination of this effort, is for it to feel a sense of accomplishment and understanding for what it has done.

If, on the other hand, you were able to forcibly pick up this 7 billion pound animal and drop it into a new “home”, the effect would be one of confusion, trauma, stress and loss. The suffering and pain that would result would cause irreparable damage to some parts and even possibly death.

The goal here is to assist this animal in moving to a new place all on its own. Nothing moves without consent and understanding. This is not an aggressive shove but a universal adjustment, orchestrated in beautiful synchronicity by every single cell of the animal. Progress is nearly invisible unless you step back a very great distance. Yet movement is felt everywhere, some of it painful, some of it joyful, all of it indicative of this massive shift that is happening.

We chose to move all 7 billion pounds by ourselves and we are doing so. With each individual change we slightly alter our position. One day we’ll look back and see just how far we’ve come. As long as we stay the course, our arrival is assured.

You have come from a seemingly distant land and willingly immersed yourself in a place that has no facility to recognize your gift. Like a bull in a china shop, it’s been mostly a disaster. Put that same bull in the ring, and all who see him appreciate his beauty, strength and magnificence.

We are sensing now our time to enter the ring. With anticipation we are waiting for our turn to run – brilliant and free. We can feel it, although it is still not visible to our physical eyes.

Feel the fullness of your own truth. You hold all the answers, you know the right moves; you spring from source energy. Ego is not what we’ve been told; ego is not when you are feeling and proclaiming your greatness - ego doubts your own divinity.

You are lesser than none. ~Sophia March 2012

This sums up today's emotions. And yesterday's emotions, and the day before that. There is an anticipation, a yearning, a knowing that whatever it is, a feeling or a thing or a person or an event, is right here and I will know it when it is encountered.

Perhaps it's the hype about this month, yet for sure something quickens.

There is both certainty and uncertainty. They simultaneously co-exist in my heart and body. All that I want to do is watch and anticipate. Sort of like waiting at the bedroom door Christmas morning... it is tense and so very thrilling. There is a knowing of the wonders just beyond that door, even without a visual.

Love yourself without doubt or hesitation. This moment fast approaching, (and I use "fast" relatively), it may be quite some time yet, is one in which you will declare your truth and your desire with all that you are. Trust. Know. Believe. Intend.

This switch to Agape will not just happen. Well, it is happening within us, yet what is meant by that first statement is this: It will take conscious effort to convince you of it.

This earth life is mesmerizing. Our days are filled with stimulation on all fronts; each vying for our attention. Within these “business as usual” moments you'll feel moments of love. You'll have to look for them.

While the news media screams at you to “Be afraid, be very afraid”, Agape whispers - “just love”. Listen.

As a species, we learn by association. These “Agape Moments” are new. They stand alone; solitary testaments to truth. You are here now to remember. Take note of every instance that was not as you expected. These may be slight variations in behavior or they may be HUGE. Either way, notice them.

Note when love emerges. If you can, jot it down. Add a note on your phone or a voice memo to yourself - “I saw love just now”.

It is in the accumulation of this, our new story, that we alter history. The media is not on every corner – you are. You came now to usher in this shift of awareness. The way to change occurs in small increments; bit by bit we unite with love.

What sorts of things are love? Let's start with ten or so, you'll add more as you get the idea.

Someone holding the door for you

Someone letting you merge in traffic

Someone giving you a coupon in a grocery store

Finding a quarter, left by someone, in the lock on your grocery cart

A policeman slowing down, just to wave and say hello

A CHICAGO POLICEMAN HELPING YOU GET INTO A FESTIVAL FOR FREE

A store clerk taking you right to the product you are searching for

People smiling at you

Someone handing you a CTA pass for the train

Someone letting you in front of them in the cashier line

A stranger sharing a story from their heart with you

Someone giving you change so you can park your car

A child helping another child without being asked to

A random hug

Finding a bag of fresh produce on your doorstep

These things are not new. They happen all the time. Yet we've put them in a category and mostly dismissed them as “once in awhile events”, “every so often a nice person” or luck. Here's where change happens.

As we notice and remember, we begin to expect. As we expect love, we create it. That's how it really works, how our lives are created. Agape is self love. Operating from there it's an easy jump to kindness and compassion. We are One. The world around you becomes a whole lot nicer when you are fulfilled.

What has been holding up our progress is the stories we've been using to learn. We've listened to society, institutions and the media long enough; as if we believe these stories are our own reality. They are not, unless you believe, expect and create them to be.

Tell new stories. Give yourself the gift of freedom and pursue a passion you've neglected. Then, watch how your mood is uplifted and we all look different to you. With eyes of Agape, see the moments of love surrounding your day. It is a circle. As we love each other, we love ourselves. We are One. These love moments you are immersed in are ever so much more real than the evening news.

Love yourself enough to focus on your own life – really see what's going on. There are gifts everywhere if only we keep our arms open wide enough to receive them. Let us love you. Love us back.

We are the Ones we've been waiting for.

With so much love,~Sophia​(Re-posted from October 2014)PS Sign up for my newsletter here and check out my book, The Guardian, here!

Instead of discussing predictions, let’s, for a few moments, talk about what you know to be true.​Quiet the shouting announcements long enough to listen. The still and silent voice you find here, waits for willing ears. It’s been ignored and perhaps forgotten; yet it remains. It knows you will return.

In a dream world, all destinations wake you up. This life of ours is such a dream, perhaps, at times, a nightmare. Yet, good or bad the fact remains – it ends when we wake up.

There are some who push the snooze button time and time again. There are others, perhaps you may be one, who spring out of slumber the first chance they get.

It matters not what you believe, or who you listen to for the “real” story. There comes a day we all wake up and share a collective smile. “Well done”, we’ll say. “Bravo.” “Your performance was superb.” With our costumes off and judgments shelved, we’ll see who really ran this show.

We can remember now you know; some of us already do. They step away from all the noise, they listen to the trees. They do not sit in solitude but pitch right in when called. They are in this world, but at the same time, not of it. From there they participate; from there they observe; from there they create.

You can watch, create and be in deep, without forgetting who you are. It takes belief. It demands intent. Both must spring from truth. For when the dream story is what motivates you, you still remain asleep.

You must wake up to change the script. That quiet whisper from within still waits for willing ears.Listen now. Remember. You’ve used your last snooze cycle; that buzzing stops you notice the dream. Once realized, choice emerges.

What are you creating? Remember. Deep within are seeds of acceptance. They’ve broken through the surface now. Promote their growth with love. Give them room to bloom. Remember.

If I had one wish for all of us, it would look like this – a single moment of clarity. Where what we know astounds all of our senses simultaneously and leaves behind no doubt. A universal wake up moment, where all that remains is the dream. What is true then is us – brilliant, obnoxious, glorious, vibrant, radiant, spectacular us.

There is a better Earth, a new world, peace, longevity, prosperity, and ecstasy, simply because we’ve imagined them all. See this as truth. It will be so. This is what you came to do. Disregard the shouting and do what it is you are here for.

Love yourself without restraint. The world, your world, has no option but to follow. Make every wonderful imagining that is yours, manifest. Intend bliss. See joy. Feel plentiful. Hear vitality. Accept only love. Allow that quiet voice within to speak. With permission, it just may sing. Remember. You are the one’s we’ve been waiting for.

There is, perhaps, a diminished tension in the air, while a remaining floating physical stress remains. Waking up is a lot to do (both literally and figuratively). Once awake, the sense of reckless shots of forceful energy blasts are not as prevalent as they once were. What persists though, is a sort of fatigue. To muster enthusiasm for new projects or endeavors is a bit of a struggle. What’s weighing us down? What force threatens to keep us pinned to the mattress each morning?

Contemplation leads us to a specific culprit. It is, I suspect, a symptom of this gradual 3D release.There is no blueprint for this transformed human. We are a WIP; work in progress. As we shed non-supportive patterns and let go of heavy attachments, there are parts of us new, bits of us reforming, and some of us still deciding what to hang on to and what to release. We are doing this without instructions and we are doing a great job!

Watch carefully and you’ll see evidence in your every day. Just today, one of my friends shared with me the fact that he and a mutual co-worker had reached a compromise. They decided they were both right. Until this now, they’d been mostly arguing.

Other pieces of evidence spring from the children. One of them comforted a staff member when a mistake was made. One more told me today, as he played a game with a younger child, that he’d “take care of her” so I could work with some of his older classmates. 😉 Still another left our table to engage and instruct a much younger child in a different and more age appropriate activity. All of this without request or instruction by myself or any professional in the room.

These may seem like unimportant moments. Yet most days include a cacophony of “Me first!”, “I’m right!” and “Look at me!”; with little, if any, regard for anyone else. These are minor miracles, indicative of major alterations.

It is the children who will first express the deep nature of this incoming energy. They are showing it in the way they watch and subsequently attempt to help each other. There is an emerging sense of collaboration.

In a place where self-love is consistently felt, the desire for constant reinforcement diminishes. This is what I see in the majority of interactions.

There is also a struggle witnessed in some. I’m happy to report that this is not most. The struggle is evidenced in their ever-increasing staunch refusal to be challenged or pulled closer. Their demand for authority, their refusal of close emotional contact. These are the hold outs. It is for them we must retain our vigilance.

It may appear they have no need of our approach or comfort or attention. They would be the first to assure you that “they’ve got this”. For sure they do. Yet our moments now are not superficial or isolated. In our choices to either embrace or refuse, we telegraph our answer. Are we separate and isolated? Are we united and together? In each moment, we decide.

What I feel lately is an increasing degree of discomfort with those who cross their arms across their chests and declare their truth. A far more comfortable place to be in, is that place or person or organization with open arms and listening ears. Choose carefully where you are standing, for in each moment we announce our intention.

There’s been speculation around how we give our answer. If you are not sure of the question, it’s being asked of you in the headlines as well as your relationships – “Unity or Polarity?” We are giving our answer in every choice and intent. There will be a “you can’t erase your previous answer” moment, at some point. We aren’t there yet.

The polarity shouted from the news begins in our everyday relations. What we are reading and watching is orchestrated to divide us. It won’t work if in our hearts, we are unified.

This is a gradual unfolding. We are not being asked to let go of every belief. Only those that do not support a sovereign people.

It can be hard to release things you imagined were holding this life together; things like rules and systems and even a sense of history or god. These things we imagined were the bedrock of society.

This switch will uncover the real foundation of society, and that would be us. For society is an extension of the individual. It rises and falls on what you hold to be deeply true.

Hold fast to your heart and realize in every moment you can love. It is in each small choice to accept and welcome, that mastery resides. This is the choice before you now. It is one you’ve gladly taken on. You knew you could do this. You are in the perfect place to get this done.

I experienced a healing this week. While it was going on, there were times I felt lifted off the table. I saw colors and felt them move through my body. Although my eyes were closed, I saw a bright light poking through, as from within a dark room, where someone was cracking the door open. Beyond them, a brilliant light was shining and this is what snuck in. Afterwards, I was told that the area I was envisioning was indeed where several angels stood. Not surprising, and a nice validation.

What did surprise me was who showed up as my heart was being “worked on”. This was someone very close to me who left this earth a dozen years ago, under tragic circumstances. I was told that sometimes during these healings, other beings we have known will show up to experience the healing as well. In this way, the healing can help more than just the physical person who came to be healed. Pretty cool.

Others were there as well, watching. I did not get names or sense these as individuals. I was told that sometimes this happens as a sort of learning experience for those who want to get to know how this work is done with the human. I was not surprised there was a crowd!

What did surprise me was the area that required the most “work”. It was my heart. I’ve been thinking about this since the healing, and working out why; hence the reason for this post.

I believe it has everything to do with onions. Hang on while I explain.

As most of you, I’ve been doing inner work for a very long time. Those of us who came now as bearers of the light, brought with us heavy burdens. These play out in our life circumstances, our relationships and our bodies as well as our mental and emotional processes. There was a lot we came to do! We arrived here to create a visceral understanding and experience of enlightenment. This can only happen with deeply felt transformation.

At first, waking up was so much fun! The law of attraction and creation was a new toy, and there was free parking and no traffic pretty much every place we went! It felt great.

Yet the amazing discoveries didn’t last. Hurt feelings and unhappy circumstances reared their ugly heads repeatedly, regardless of process or progress. Parking places were no longer cutting it. It was two steps forward and one step back, gradually becoming one step forward… WTF? This was not what I was here for.

There was a time of major ego. Feelings of being the only ones with the truth, created boatloads of separation. We felt different from everyone else, or most everyone else. And yes, better and more enlightened as well.

Time kept moving forward and gradually even the ego seemed to dissipate. It actually did feel as if we were all in this together, those awake and those still drowsy and even those completely asleep. It seemed as if things were not changing quickly enough though. Upon closer examination, it became apparent that there were layers of change. They were being peeled off gradually, much like an onion.

It is easy to talk about loving your neighbor when you don’t have to see them every day, or clean up after the mess they make, or watch them repeat the same actions and then complain about them over and over and one more time. These far away loved ones are the beginning layers.

What is clear after this healing, is that we are at or pretty close to the base layer of our onion. We’ve peeled back most, but not all, of it to get here. These final layers are stuck good. They’ve been here since the beginning. They were hidden so well, that no one was aware of what they looked like. They look like us.

I believe that while I was being healed this week, I was given a peek at the deepest level of me. This wasn’t something the healer saw, it is something I’ve some to see, now that it’s been a few days and I see what is showing up for me.

What is showing up is not pretty. I would have told you, if you had asked, that I was past all of it. Indeed, I would tell you, and this would be true, that I can accept pretty much any behavior or attitude or belief and still love without reservation.

What I am coming to realize is that, although true, the key words here are “pretty much”. And the one that is directing this acceptance is me. I have yet to fully accept me.

How do I know this?

I know this because there is still judgment. If I were completely healed, there would be no onion. If my heart was whole and healthy, my loved one would not have snuck in to get some of what I needed from that healing. She needed self-love, it was not something she had while alive.

Here’s the thing. What I sense in the world is what is playing out in my own body and heart and emotions, as well as yours. It is this idea that something is wrong.

Wrong with the government, with the systems of control, with the opposing parties, with the state of the world, with the parts of me I’ve denied exist, with certain attitudes and behaviors and beliefs and actions and parts and people. I don’t have to like all of these things. But I don’t have to judge them wrong either. Acceptance is not enjoyment, it is merely lack of judgment.

You cannot separate your feelings from your body. My heart was hurting because of a lack of acceptance, a denial. Denial and unconditional love do not co-exist. Unconditional love see’s everything and loves anyway. It loves every part of you, and then, every part of everything.

Our lives are circular. Today we are 3D and physical. We are moving towards an experience of oneness and from oneness we then move towards the infinite potential of the love that we are. From this infinite potential comes a desire to experience self/life. That desire produces first thought and “other” (which is the only and imagined way we experience self) with a return to physical creation. It is a circle.

What the healing this week did was illuminate the remaining deep onion layers that still need peeling. Perhaps yours are different, probably they are. I wonder, if as we each reach the inner onion, we realize and broadcast our light in a sort of explosion. Is this what enlightenment looks like?

We are here now because the next level of the physical is being reached on a planetary level while we walk on her surface. That promises to be an onion peeling moment, with layers unnecessary and all of us realized in full radiance.

We are actually perfect. As this healing demonstrated, we can accept ourselves pretty much and still require more love. I thought I had it; apparently, there is yet more love to give. What is cool about this is that we merely need to love ourselves. As we do, beings from all over experience the love and are simultaneously healed and enlightened.

I am wondering if there needs to be more love quests… some of you remember them… please share in the comments section if you have a thought on this. I stopped them several years ago; at the time, it was felt that there was nothing else to say about love. Perhaps there is.

Know that perfection is not necessary, but acceptance is. Accept that the bit of infinite love that is you is right now everything you’ve imagined, and that is more than enough.

Decide who you will be next and love him or adore her. She is just what Gaia ordered and we are so thrilled you have joined us.

I know two people alive today that I consider Masters. You do not know them. They are not on a pulpit or an altar or a blog or Twitter. They do not know each other. They live in different parts of the world. They differ in age and sex and color and creed, yet they have one thing in common. They are highly connected. Everyone knows them. They are consistent in their search for how they can offer themselves to help you. They do not think everyone is perfect, they believe everyone is worth their attention. That “everyone” includes yourself.
